A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-shaped arms and a tiger-skin cushion, in a colourful temple-style stage set with pink, green and yellow pillars and warm string lights. He wears a rust-orange wrap, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold beads, gold earrings and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead; his hair is long and swept back, and he sits cross-legged with hands resting on his knees. A small microphone is clipped near his face. Two gold lion statues flank the throne, and a brass lamp stands at left. Swamiji (probable): the rudraksha mala, long swept-back hair and saffron-orange wrap are the cues, seated as a teacher giving discourse.
